Dr. Yıldırım's Surgical Approach

Dr. Şüheda Yıldırım approaches the deep plane facelift with a focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation, targeting the deeper structures of the face to achieve lasting and natural-looking results.

Dr. Şüheda Yıldırım approaches the deep plane facelift with a focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation, targeting the deeper structures of the face to achieve lasting and natural-looking results. Her methodology involves precise sub-SMAS dissection, which is key to the deep plane technique. This allows for the repositioning of the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, a crucial fibrous tissue that covers the muscles of facial expression.

Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily pull the skin, Dr. Yıldırım's deep plane technique lifts the SMAS and its attached fat pads as a single unit. This integrated lift addresses sagging in the midface, jowls, and neck more effectively. By releasing specific ligaments that tether the SMAS, she can achieve a more significant and tension-free repositioning of facial tissues.
